Mohammad Adil, the mastermind of Kabul University attack, was sentenced to death by the Supreme Court, says the Interior Affairs Ministry.

The Supreme Court in a statement said that five other collaborators of the attack were sentenced to various jail terms on charges of treason, transfer of explosive materials and cooperation with Daesh. 

On November 2, 2020, at least 22 people were killed and over 40 others were wounded after two gunmen attacked Kabul University, a raid that ended after six hours.

In total, 18 students, 16 students from the Public Administration Faculty and two of them from the Law Faculty, lost their lives in the attack.  

The attackers had military uniforms.

Later on, Afghanistan’s First Vice President Amrullah Saleh blamed the Taliban for the Kabul University attack and said there are many evidences to prove his claim.  

But the Taliban rejected Saleh’s claims.

Ten of those killed were female students. They were students of the public administration faculty.

All students who lost their lives aged between 20 to 26 years old.

At least 25,000 students are enrolled at Kabul University.
